Tom: Am
Am
Picture me counting cards, dear
Pick any kind you like
G
Picture them colored red, dear
Black will hold back the light
F
From the stars in our eyes are just diamonds, broke
Am
Jokes we tell to laugh, dear
Laugh to hold back the pain
G
Pain is in the mind, dear
Stars are much the same
F
Gone in the time it takes the light to reach
Dm
In time you'll find
G F Am
We're blind to the things we don't believe
[Verse 2]
Am
Picture us out in Vegas counting bills before the show
G
Spendin' em from New Orleans where we spent the week before
F
And the stars in our eyes are the lights from the flash
Am
Pictures of us in black, dear
G
Rolling on the red carpets laid on concrete
Counting billboards where we read
F
That the stars of our minds shine bright in the dark
Dm G
Like diamonds, diamonds
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
And hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars
F
Say hear me when I call
Dm Am
Hear me when I come in late
You're wide awake
G F
"I'm sorry" is not enough
Dm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay
[Chorus]
Am G
Faded by
In time with the back of your bed
F Dm
Am I that levy you take, that levy you hold
F G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
F Dm
Am I that levy you break, that levy you hold
[Bridge]
Am
Paint me red, paint me red
Picture that, picture that
G
Picture us and God shaking hands just because we can
F
Like DMC we run this shit, Run DMC
What's tricky to get we got
Dm*
Watch me murder this
Dm*
Watch me murder this
[Bridge]
Am G F Dm 2x
[Verse 3]
Am
Planes fly due west, and
G F Dm
Plain in my view is the blame for the fault in our stars
Am
Counting cards in the dark
G
We sit and talk, bleeding it out
F Dm
Believing that all our cries are just diamonds
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
Hearts in our cards and our silver strung guitars
F
Say hear me when I call
Dm Am
Hear me when I come in late
G
You're wide awake
F
"I'm sorry" is not enough
Dm
I'm sorry I'm not enough to stay
[Chorus]
Am G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
F Dm
Am I that levy you take, that levy you hold
Am G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
F Dm
Aam I that levy you break, that levy you hold
Am G
Faded by in time
With the back of your bed
F Dm
Am I that levy you take, that levy you hold
[Outro]
Am
Picture me counting cards, dear, picture me counting cards
